[Dailydrool] OMBR Buppy Update!

[Sherry Faulkner]

The buppies are doing great. They are nursing from bottles with gusto, 
and gaining weight to the tune of 1 to 3 ounces each. One little girl 
dropped to 6 oz, but she's back up to 7.5 now, and the largest, our only 
male, is weighing in at a whopping 14 ounces.

We were crunching numbers the other day and went back to look at the 
expenses we incurred with Rosie's pups. We had one pup with a vet bill 
of over $1000, so needless to say, even with Rosie being an exemplary 
mama and nursing all the pups herself, the expenses were astronomical 
after we added in vet visits, shots, worming, etc. These little ones 
don't have the luxury of mama's milk and neither does our pocketbook! 
Powdered milk supplement alone costs about $35-40 a can and they will be 
on it for about 6 weeks.

Should anyone want to donate to Penelope's pups fund, you can click on 
the Paypal button on our website at www.ombr.org. (You can see pictures 
of them there, too!)
